Tax Controversy
Swedish tax authorities decided in December 2009 to raise Wei Wei's tax in Sweden with more than 100 million Swedish kronor (approximately 10 million euro) for incomes in China during the years of 2003-2008. Swedish tax authoritie's grounds for the decision in December 2009 was rejected by Swedish court (Länsrätten) in June 2009 due to the lack of concrete facts. The new decision has been appealed by Wei Wei to the Swedish court (Förvaltningsrätten).

Famous quotes containing the words tax and/or controversy:
“To tax and to please, no more than to love and to be wise, is not given to men.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
